Bill Clinton, Vera Wang Send Birthday Notes to Jeffrey Epstein
Jaden Patel here, your designated dry wit witnessing the parade of questionable celebrity decisions. Let’s all nod politely as more names emerge from the archives of very rich folks who apparently forgot how public perception works.
The Wall Street Journal dropped the bombshell on July 24, 2025, revealing that Bill Clinton and Vera Wang were among a dozen high profile contributors to Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday photo album. The piece says Ghislaine Maxwell organized the project around 2003, collecting hand written notes from social heavyweights. TMZ first flagged the book’s existence months earlier.
Clinton’s alleged entry arrives in readable handwriting with a dose of irony. The former president reportedly wrote: “It’s reassuring isn’t it, to have lasted as long, across all the years of learning and knowing, adventures and [illegible word], and also to have your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference and the solace of friends.” That’s a warm note given what followed.
Vera Wang’s submission offers less philosophical reflection and more cheeky banter. According to WSJ, the fashion mogul teased a shopping expedition with Epstein and even quipped about casting him as “The Bachelor.” It reads like a poorly timed reality TV promo rather than a solemn birthday tribute.
This is the same volume that allegedly contains a contribution from Donald Trump, who has flatly denied sending any message and filed a defamation lawsuit over the claim. Maxwell’s role as curator adds another layer to the story, given her later legal battles and convictions tied to Epstein’s crimes.
The book is dated 2003, a full three years before Epstein faced his first Florida arrest for soliciting an underage girl. That timing reminds us how private gatherings among elites can remain buried until someone decides to turn the spotlight on decades-old memorabilia.
Seeing presidential prose next to couture quips in an album for a convicted sex offender feels like a surreal mash up of power, privilege, and poor judgment. It also raises questions about how well public figures vet their social circles before sending sweet nothings.
Revelations like these typically spark hot takes, calls for accountability and more legal threats. But here’s a dry fact: notes written in good faith can become evidence in the most unflattering light when viewed through the lens of subsequent scandal.
What’s next? Watch for more filings in Trump’s lawsuit, potential reactions from the former president’s camp, and maybe a statement from Vera Wang’s label. If the album’s contents truly exist, there could be fresh subpoenas or records unsealed for public scrutiny.
Consider this another reminder that even polite birthday greetings aren’t immune to turning into historical footnotes of self preservation gone awry.
